About positioning methods
Maps displays your location on the map using GPS, A-GPS, Wi-Fi, or network (cell ID)
based positioning.
The global positioning system (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system used for
calculating your location. Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is a network service that sends you GPS
data, improving the speed and accuracy of the positioning.
Wi-Fi network positioning improves position accuracy when GPS signals are not
available, especially when you are indoors or between tall buildings.
With network (cell ID) based positioning, the position is determined through the
antenna system your cellular phone is currently connected to.
